Expanded PTFE or ePTFE is suitable for virtually any industry, from the simplest to the most complex applications and environments.
The unique material properties of Expanded PTFE allows for a strong, flexible material resistant to virtually all chemicals/corrosive media and withstands extreme temperatures and pressures.
Designed for easy installation, saving cost and time, as well as reducing equipment maintenance and downtime through its long and effective service life.
100% pure PTFE is expanded via a unique process into a consistent, highly fibrillated structure. Upon compression, the fibrils lock together to form a strong, uniform material, impervious to gases and liquids.
It seals under extreme temperatures, pressures and against corrosive media, where conventional materials would break down. Even during application, the material is incredibly resistant to creep, relaxation and cold flow - issues which are often associated with other gasket materials, especially virgin or filled PTFE.
Operating throughout the pH range, resistant to thermal cycling, non-contaminating and therefore can be used in virtually any industry, sealing the simplest to the most difficult of gasket applications.
Gasket Temperature: -240ºC to +310ºC (-450ºF to +600ºF)
Internal Pressure: From full vacuum to 207 bar (3,000 psi)
Media pH Value: 0 to 14 (except for molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine)
